@tillshadeisgone I did address it. But sure. I'll do it yet again. I didn't say that I think he should be able to do this. I don't have an opinion either way. What I said was nobody can stop him. Nobody is in charge. You keep trying to have a moral argument with me and I'm politely declining. I don't have any power to dictate what that guy does and does not get to do. And I'm making decisions accordingly.

@tillshadeisgone is that clear? I know it's not the answer you were hoping for. But it is a direct answer. Is there a different way I can directly answer your question so that you don't have to keep repeating it? Let me know.

@polotek actually, that was helpful. My last response will be this:
Sometimes people get upset when other people do things that they don't like that affect them, even when they have no power to stop them from doing it.

And it's great for you and for me, who have our own instances, and who have taken whatever steps we felt were necessary in light of that. So I can understand why it's not important to you.

But there are other people, who don't have what we have, who get to have it be important to them. They get to be upset. Hell, I'm in community with some of these folks so I'm upset too.

I guess that's just going to be baffling to some people and I'll just make my peace with it

@tillshadeisgone none of this is "baffling" to me. I understand everything about why people are upset. You seem to confused because I'm still suggesting that being upset is not sufficient to solve the actual problem. People seem to think that having random strangers acknowledge that you're right to be upset will somehow make everything okay.

@polotek

Is it like, you're looking at this bridge episode as indicative of the overall Fediverse structure being inadequate for privacy/safety, whereas most people (me too I admit) have had their focus on the shape of that one particular situation?

kind of like "don't get hung up on this one particular example with this one particular guy, there's a bigger picture which needs attention"?
